The God of Fear was a very shrewd fellow. Although sometimes his tricks brought him nothing than trouble, at least at the moment of life and death, his tricks were quite reliable.

As he had said, good and evil were inherent in the world, and the balance between them was the basic law of the world. Judging evil with good was to deny the balance between them, and that didn’t make any sense.

What he had said was quite remarkable. Not to mention ordinary people, even the gods nodded their heads in secret.

Most of the gods in the world belonged to the Neutral Camp. For them, the general good or evil did not matter. Instead, they cared more about their own camp and rules, and that was all.

If the balance between good and evil was broken, there surely would be a winner between these two, and that would have a huge impact on the world. Whether it was good or bad, currently, no one wanted to see it happen—no one knew what it would lead the world to.

Faced with the God of Fear’s justification, Sui Xiong gave a cold smile carelessly.

It was not surprising to see the God of Fear defend himself in this way, or, in other words, not surprising for the God of Law.

For this trial, Sui Xiong had talked to the God of Law in detail in advance, and he had also asked the God of Law to play the role of the God of Fear to conceive how he would defend himself.

And what the God of Fear was saying now was one of several possibilities that the God of Law had conceived at that time.

Thus, Sui Xiong was well prepared for such an argument.

“Are you the world?” he asked.

The God of Fear was surprised at that and then shook his head.

“Then, am I the world?” he asked again.

The God of Fear shook his head again.

“Well, are we, I mean you and I, the world?”

“What on earth do you want to say?” the God of Fear asked cautiously. “I don’t think this topic makes sense.”

Without paying attention to him, Sui Xiong turned to the audience and said, “All the gods present here, do you think our gods together are the world?”

The gods discussed it and after a while gave a relatively consistent answer.

“No.”

The world was vast and boundary-less. It had been a great cycle since ancient times and had even existed long before the gods appeared. Even if the gods died in the future, the world would still exist. The gods were the masters of some laws of the world, the guardians of the operation of the world, and the strivers in pursuit of infinite power even beyond the world. But anyway, even if all the gods of the Pantheon temple were counted, they were still smaller and not worth mentioning compared to the world.

Since ancient times, many clergies had been occupied by different masters, and even many gods had passed their titles on for several generations. Everyone was just the master of a certain clergy in a certain generation. Even if all gods were united, they were just the masters of clergies in a single generation—that was all.

They were not the world. Even if all of them were counted, they were still not the world.

Sui Xiong listened to the results of the discussions among the gods and looked at the God of Fear. “Do you agree with them?”

“Yes.” The God of Fear nodded.

“Then here is the question. Since even if our gods together are not the world, how can the death of a single god be serious enough to influence the balance of the world?” Sui Xiong sneered and said. “Whether there is a trial for you or not, does it have any influence on the balance of the world?”

The God of Fear was speechless and didn’t answer that.

“Let me ask you again, am I the good? Are you the evil?” Sui Xiong continued to ask. “Of course I don’t think you will answer it, so I’d like to ask all of you here. Is there anyone here that thinks that you are the good or evil? Or do you think that all good gods add up together to be the good itself? And the same for the evil?”

After a brief discussion, the gods gave a negative answer.

Not to mention the gods here, even the former God of Virtue and the former God of Evil were just the supreme masters of the good and evil, but not the actual good and evil themselves.

It was like the God of Sky not being the sky, the Sun God not being the sun, and the God of Joy not being joy. Even the God of Fear himself was not fear.
